Updated 5:48 pm, Monday, November 28, 2016
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies who beat a mentally ill jail inmate and falsified records to hide the abuse were sentenced Monday to federal prison.
Bryan Brunsting, 32, was given 21 months in prison while Jason Branum, 36, was sentenced to five months behind bars. However, both were allowed to remain free pending an appeal.
. . .
Brunsting and Branum were charged in a March 22, 2010, attack on a schizophrenic inmate who had shown disrespect to a civilian Sheriff's Department employee.
The deputies and a rookie brought the inmate to a locked hallway that lacked surveillance cameras. Prosecutors said Brunsting and Branum beat the man, kicked him in the genitals and sprayed him in the eyes with pepper spray. The man didn't fight back.
